Description:
------------
despite the documentation saying method 'https' is supported, a browse through the RPC.php file shows it is not.
The original version from usefulinc.com did.
instead ended up with errors for trying to use http on https port.

send function in RPC.php only uses send($msg,0) with no param for protocol https.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
require_once "XML/RPC.php";

/**
* Get the name of state 42 (Tenesse)
*/
$params = array(new XML_RPC_Value(42, "int"));
$msg = new XML_RPC_Message("examples.getStateName", $params);

$client = new XML_RPC_Client("/RPC2", "127.0.0.1", 443);

$response = $client->send($msg,0,"https");

$v = $response->value();

if (!$response->faultCode()) {
print "State number 42 is " . $v->scalarval() . "\n";
print "I got this value back:\n" . $response->serialize() . "\n";
} else {
print "Fault: ";
print "Code: " . $response->faultCode() . " Reason '" . $response->faultString() . "'\n";
}
?>
